Chapter 325 Is it as good as before to restore the country with strength ([-])
When I met Kit for the first time, Kit had just returned from the field with a hoe.

The hoe is made of iron, and the person who hired him to help with the farming bought a lot of iron farm tools from Peixian County, and there are four cows and two horses at home, which can be regarded as a new landlord class, with many private fields and good management. But no noble blood.

Nowadays, the population is not too large, so there is a shortage of labor force. Kit's life of helping others in farming is not bad, at least one can survive from starvation.

Under the condition that food and clothing can be maintained, most landless people will choose to sell their labor power in different time periods.When they really can't maintain it, they can only choose to sell themselves as child servants at one time. Kit has not been so miserable for the time being.

After looking it over, he was 27 or [-] years old, and he was about [-] or [-] years old when the country was destroyed. He may be able to read and write, and he should have received a good education when he was young.

The once noble blood did not prevent his skin from turning black and dry under the scorching sun.His expression was not dull. Seeing Shi Shi coming, he hurriedly greeted him, and looked at Teng Shuyu with doubts in his eyes.

Teng Shuyu hurriedly introduced, looked at the nobleman from more than ten years ago, and said with a smile: "Jiarong has worked hard, now you know where your childhood meals came from?"

Kit grinned, her speaking level was still much higher than Shi Shi's, and she said sadly: "The sage and the people farm and eat together, and eat and drink to govern the world."

"A ruler who owns a storehouse for food and a treasury for money is harming the people to support himself. Such a ruler is not worthy of being called a virtuous person."

Luo Xiaoli who was at the side was stunned, thinking that this person's idea was very good.

Shi laughed and said: "It's not bad to be a farmer and busy with farming. After all, I'm not a king. I think so when I hold a hoe in my hand. I'm afraid I don't think so when I hold a gold jade seal in my hand."

But Ji Te didn't take it seriously, and didn't think about restoring the country at all, and it was not his turn to restore the country, and he still had a bunch of relatives in exile.

He was acquainted with Teng Shuyu and knew that he was a Mohist, so he said: "Can a person's mind be changed? If I were a king, I would have to cultivate it myself. The so-called scholars have those who did not cultivate in the past, and the world Or suffer from its hunger. If a woman does not perform well in the past, the world may suffer from her coldness."

Shi laughed and said nothing.He can't trust promises, and he can't trust the momentary perception. It doesn't matter how he says it now, and he will definitely find a way to restrain it in the future.It's good to think so, and when the time comes, I won't think so, and I will find a way to force him to think so.

After a brief conversation, Kit asked Teng Shuyu, "Why are you here today? It's such a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. I should have bought some sour wine and wheat cakes, but it's a pity that autumn hasn't arrived yet, so please help me." Forgive me for not giving me money for farming.”

He really didn't have much money in his hands, and autumn hadn't arrived yet, and he ate everything at the master's house, similar to a long-term worker.It turns out that they still need to do work like pounding corn to get some quick money.

I spent some private money, and invited Ji Te, Teng Shuyu and others to the food shop of the Mo family, and ordered some wheat cakes and light wine, a small plate of peanuts boiled in salt water, and a few sticks that were boiled with salt and smashed with salt. Crushed peppers are extravagant.

After eating a few mouthfuls of wheat cakes, I realized that Kit had already lost her aristocratic temperament. She devoured food voraciously, and used the chopsticks that were only used to drink vegetable soup proficiently without sluggishness.

After swallowing for a while, he said casually, "I just came here today to ask, are you willing to go to Pei County to study?"

Kit was stunned for a moment, he knew his identity, and he had also heard the Mohists' rhetoric about equality and merit, which had an extremely interesting effect.

In theory he is an aristocrat.

But in fact he was miserable, his father died in the battle of defending the city, and he was not a direct son, the real Dazong had already fled.

I was being helped by others, relying on my strength to eat, and the Teng country was dead, so my status as a nobleman in the side branch was worthless.

In fact, he is not an orthodox aristocrat. In theory, an orthodox aristocrat would rather starve to death than do this kind of work for a servant to make a living. Besides, he doesn't even have a sword. It was already sold.

So when Shi Shi said this, he felt a little strange, so he asked: "My talent is not enough to be called a sage. The Mo family has a high vision and evaluates people in the world. I heard that Mo Di thought that unless Zhongni was resurrected, no one in the world would be able to do it." Compared with it... It's not that I don't want to study, but I don't know why you are looking for me?"

Shi smiled without saying a word, and asked for a while: "Are you just talking about going or not. If you go, the Mo family will pay for the board and lodging expenses."

Kit thought, is it still necessary to think about it?I am here to farm with others and work hard every day. Is it what I want?It's just that if you don't work, you won't have food.Now you are in charge of board and lodging, why don't I go?

Furthermore, while eating wheat cakes, thinking of some rumors about the Mo family, he thought that he always wanted to eat more wheat cakes.Although I sigh with emotion, I hope that the sages and the people will grow and eat together, but at least they must have a little bit of land of their own.

Ji Te absolutely had no reason to refuse such a good thing that fell from the sky, but she still couldn't help asking: "I have heard that the Mohists say that everyone is equal, regardless of age or age, and that everyone is honored and selected for their posts. I also agree Hearing the poems of Paradise, I hope that children in the future will be able to read and write..."

He hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "But as far as Tengdi is concerned, there are dozens of people who are smarter than me. In Tianlong Market, there are so many talents... The Mohists invited me to study in Pei County alone. Isn't this the case? Do you care about my noble lineage?"

Shi laughed loudly and said, "Your words don't make sense."

"In the past, the great son traveled to Lu. There is Wu Lu in the south of Lu. He potters in winter and cultivates in summer. He compares himself to Shun. Zi Mozi heard it and saw it. Wu Lu said to Zi Mozi: "Yi Er Yi Er, how to use words Is that so?" Zi Mozi said: "The so-called righteousness of the son is that he has the strength to work people, and the wealth to divide people." Wu Lu said: "Yes."

Ji Te thought to herself, what Wu Li thought was somewhat similar to what she thought.

If we talk about equality, if we talk about doing righteousness, everyone should work hard from top to bottom, and that is true equality.

This is how he understood the equality of the Mohists, so he asked this question.

But since this story is applicable to the story, it seems that the Mohists do not agree with such average equality, so they wait for the follow-up.

After a short pause, he said: "Zi Mozi then asked Wu Li, saying that he wanted to farm for the world to eat, and worked very hard. This is equivalent to a farmer's farming, and the harvest is distributed to the world. One liter of millet. Assuming that one person can get one liter of millet, it is not enough to feed the hungry people in the world. It is obvious. I once wanted to weave clothes for the world, and worked very hard. This is equivalent to a woman People weaving, distributing the cloth to the people in the world, each person does not get a foot of cloth. Suppose a person can get a foot of cloth, it is not enough to warm the cold people in the world, it is obvious.”

"Zimozi also wanted to wear a solid armor and hold a sharp weapon to save the princes from suffering. He worked very hard. This is equivalent to a soldier fighting. It is obvious that a soldier cannot resist the attack of the three armies. I think it is better to read and study the theories of the former kings, to understand and study the words of the sages, and to persuade the people of the world.”

"The princes and adults adopt the theory of Mohism, and the country will be governed; the common people adopt the theory of Mohism, and their conduct must be cultivated. Therefore, Zi Mozi believed that even if he did not cultivate, he could feed the hungry in this way. Being able to clothe people who are cold is more meritorious than plowing to feed people and weaving to clothe people. Therefore, I think that even if you don’t plow or weave, your merit is better than plowing and weaving.”

"If according to what you said, everyone is equal, so naturally everyone should cultivate in the winter and cultivate in the summer, and do the same thing? This is the same as what Lu Nan Wu Li thought, but it is not the knowledge of the Mohist school."

"The knowledge of the Mohists, if the world is like building walls, you can't let women do the work of ramming the earth, you must say that this is equality. You should not think that men are ramming the earth and women are only mixing mud and water, which is unequal. Everyone Do what suits your talents, and this is the great order of the world.”

Shi smiled and said: "Mohism is about utilitarianism. It is about the choice between big and small profits. Let me ask, who has more meritorious service when he teaches people how to do farming while the world doesn't know how to do it, or if he does not teach people how to do it alone? How much merit is there to attack an unrighteous country by setting up an army, to encourage the crowd to fight, or to fight alone without drumming the crowd to fight?"

Ji Te has been persuaded by Shi Shi, and replied: "Naturally, those who teach people to farm and drum fight have more credit."

Shi nodded and said: "It's like this, so the Mohists want to talk about utilitarianism. Nowadays, it is impossible to say that everyone can read and write. Naturally, we must choose these limited things and devote them to the people who can benefit the world the most. "

"We don't respect your bloodline, but because you have learned the knowledge of the Mohist school, which can benefit more people in Teng."

Speaking of this, Kit suddenly understood, her heart was pounding, her mouth was dry, and she asked in a low voice for a while: "You...you want...you want..."

Shi smiled and said: "Exactly. The people of Yue oppressed cautiously, and the people of Teng are full of resentment. If you learn the knowledge of the Mohist school and become a king, this is 'teaching people to farm' and 'drumming the people to fight'. That's why we chose you."

Kit had never thought of returning to the country, mainly because the restoration of the country was not of much benefit to him, and it was really not his turn.

Cousins ​​with orthodox inheritance rights are all over Chulu, and it's never his turn.However, Shi used the term "the people of Li Teng Kingdom", and stated very bluntly what the Mohist wanted him to do.

Ji Te was a little flustered, thinking that the Yue people were invincible, thinking that the Yue people were fierce tigers, and Qi Shang could not stop them.

But after thinking about it again, the Mo family has become famous all over the world in the past few years, and the things they planned have not failed. Isn't this an opportunity?A man should pursue something when dealing with affairs. If King Wu was worried about the power of King Zhou, how could this world be established?

With several thoughts mixed, he has already said: "So, if I am a commoner in Teng, I would like to go to Pei County to study!"
